10 photos to inspire you to visit Croatia

It was rather difficult to choose just 10 photos of different areas of Croatia to inspire you to visit my country. I’m fed up with too many blog posts with titles such as 5 cities you must visit in Croatia or 10 places to see in Croatia and such which only feature seaside towns and mainly those on the southern Croatian coast called Dalmatia, e.g. Dubrovnik and Split. There are many other gorgeous seaside towns and islands apart from the already mentioned Dubrovnik and Split. Besides, Croatia has many amazing places far away from the sea too. There are castles, mountains, plains, forests, wheat fields, forgotten villages and sleepy continental towns. I know, I haven’t exactly written much about those either but I’ll get around to it eventually 🙂 However, you can find posts about several Croatian islands on my blog that aren’t as heavily featured as Hvar island for instance.

Hopefully, this post will make you want to visit Croatia if you haven’t already been. I know, who hasn’t heard of Dubrovnik after watching the Game of Thrones? FYI, Dubrovnik was a powerful merchant republic in its past much like Venice and anyone visiting it should be aware of that. Also, I strongly suggest to visit Istria and Kvarner regions for a beach holiday+culture, not just the southern Croatian coast. 🙂 Furthermore, the next time you’re imagining a hot mug of mulled wine in your hand and Christmas lights why don’t you consider visiting Zagreb and its magical Christmas markets? Or see the biggest carnival parade in Croatia in Rijeka in February? Or go castle-hunting in Zagorje? What about tasting some delicious Croatian food in Slavonija region?

Anyway, let the photos do the talking and convince you to visit Croatia!

What an inspiring collection of beautiful places! I just came back from Croatia and I’m head over heels with this country. Haven’t seen Vukovar and the Gorski kotar region, but I’m hoping to return there soon. #TheWeeklyPostcard

I would love to visit Croatia. Haven’t gotten to planning the details of where I will go in Croatia because I don’t know yet when I will go, but once I figure it out, I will definitely check out your blog for ideas. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard.

This post is awesome! I’ve been to Croatia 3 years ago and you have captured it beautifully! Everyone needs to visit Croatia at one point of their life it’s an absolutely stunning place! So glad that I found your blog, loving it and your travels are so inspirational. Keep doing you girl!! Much love xx

totally agree on exploring other parts of Croatia. We only had time for the coast this year as were on a short trip but am planning a hiking trip in the cooler season and would love to include the lakes and waterfalls.

I’ve been really looking forward to reading this, Tanja. We loved Hvar but would really like to explore more of Croatia. I’d love to see Dubrovnik but I’m afraid I’d find it too crowded so I’m so happy to read about some of the fabulous, lesser-known beauties of Croatia. Thanks for sharing on #FarawayFiles

I’ve been seeing a lot about Croatia and have added it to my to-visit list. Definitely want to give Plitvice Lakes National Park a visit. I also didn’t know that they had a Roman amphitheater! Would love to check that out to compare what it would be like compared with the Colosseum!

I don’t need any convincing to visit Croatia. It is already #1 on my bucket list and it’s all because of a photo I saw of Plitvice Lakes National Park. We’re hoping to visit in the next few years. #farawayfiles

We LOVED Croatia Tanja! The beautiful landscape, the gorgeous water, the delicious food and the super friendly people. We spent a few days on the opposite side of Korčula in Vela Luka and loved it – quiet and sleepy but perfect in October! We also loved our drive from Dubrovnik back to Split and the little towns like Mali Ston and Omiš. Great inspiration – would really love to do Zagreb at Christmas time! Thanks for sharing with #FarawayFiles, Erin

I’ve wanted to visit Croatia for ages… I’m not sure I’m going to make it before we leave London, but it’s on the list the next time we’re back on this side of the world! I particularly like the look of Opatija!

Love these pictures so much! I’ve been to Croatia a few times but it was a while ago, and I don’t really remember that much of it apart from the beach being pretty. I would especially love visiting Dubrovnik, it looks so beautiful!
